Abstract excerpt
Resistance to carbapenems in Klebsiella pneumoniae has been mostly related with the worldwide dissemination of KPC, largely due to the pandemic clones belonging to the complex clonal (CC) 258. To unravel blaKPC post-endemic clinical impact, here we describe clinical characteristics of 68 patients from a high complexity hospital, and the molecular and genetic characteristics of their 139 blaKPC-K. pneumoniae...
